I loved firefox. But recently it had been creating problems for me.
Whenever I surf the sites with FF. There comes some message about RPC Service aborted.

And my PC starts counting down from 59 seconds. I can do nothing and it will restart the PC.
I am using IE right now and from last 3 days nothing is happening.

You probably have some corrupted system files or a virus. Not a bad idea to check for both. Can also try to reinstall FF. You could always use Opera as well. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

You have just described the majority of Web Users who use IE. It is always better to have a Browser be somewhat secure form when you first begin to use it. I generally give a customised version of Opera to users which looks like IE - they been using it for a few years now - including updates and have never had any security issues. Basically many people don't even know there are alternatives to IE. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Firefox is open source and simply has people working with passion. The extensions don't stop. People are constantly making new things. There are so many things that firefox has for webmasters that just makes life so much easier it's nice.

People that are not all that internet/computer wise do use internet explorer though. Around 80% of visitors to my sites still use IE. I think the only reason everyone doesn't your ff is because they don't know...

It's a secret little tool that we webmasters have and love! -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Do you have XP SP2 installed? If not, that's the problem I can't remember the patch name, but it was a problem on Windows XP machines that either didn't have the patch installed or didn't have SP2 installed.

I read an article that compared and contrasted IE7 and Firefox 2.0. Apparently, there is now nothing that firefox has that IE doesn't, except for the extensions of course. Also, IE does it much better. For example, IE's phising detector worked 100% of the time, whereas firefox failed 100% of the time. Hmm... Interesting turn of the tables.

I wouldn't put it past another FF extension coming out for the anti-phishing.

BTW, Opera 9 already does anti-phising -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I was an IE user before and pretty much got used to using it, but when I discovered firefox, it just blew me away. Since that day I have not turned my back on firefox, no more pop-ups, no more crazy scripts, no more self installing crap, no more browser hi-jacks. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.
